DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The text below provides a detailed description of the present disclosure in conjunction with specific embodiments illustrated in the attached drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present disclosure. The scope of protection for the present disclosure covers changes made to the structure, method, or function by persons having ordinary skill in the art on the basis of these embodiments.

To facilitate the presentation of the drawings in the present disclosure, the sizes of certain structures or portions may be enlarged relative to other structures or portions. Therefore, the drawings in the present application are only for the purpose of illustrating the basic structure of the subject matter of the present application. The same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented.

Additionally, terms in the text indicating relative spatial position, such as “front,” “back,” “upper,” “lower,” “above,” “below,” and so forth, are used for explanatory purposes in describing the relationship between a unit or feature depicted in a drawing and another unit or feature therein. Terms indicating relative spatial position may refer to positions other than those depicted in the drawings when a device is being used or operated. For example, if a device shown in a drawing is flipped over, a unit which is described as being positioned “below” or “under” another unit or feature will be located “above” the other unit or feature. Therefore, the illustrative term “below” may include positions both above and below. A device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or facing another direction), and descriptive terms that appear in the text and are related to space should be interpreted accordingly. When a component or layer is said to be “above” another member or layer or “connected to” another member or layer, it may be directly above the other member or layer or directly connected to the other member or layer, or there may be an intermediate component or layer.

Comparative Example

FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of a micro-LED structure 1, according to a comparative example. The micro-LED structure 1 in the comparative example illustrated in FIG. 18 differs from the micro-LED structure 1000 of the first embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1A in that the light emitting layer 103 does not extend along the horizontal level away from the top edge 101 a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the bottom edge 102 a of the second type conductive layer 102. Instead, in the comparative example, the edge 103 a of the light emitting layer 103 is aligned with both of the top edge 101 a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the bottom edge 102 a of the second type conductive layer 102.

As explained previously, the light emitting layer 103 may include multiple pairs of quantum well layers. The number of multi-quantum well (MQW) pairs in the light emitting layer 103 is related to exposed sidewall area of the light emitting layer 103 which is generated by, for example, inductively coupled plasma etching. The larger the exposed sidewall area, the more MQW pairs, resulting in larger surface recombination carrier loss.

In the comparative example, the sidewall of the light emitting layer 103 is aligned with the edges 101 a and 102 a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the second type conductive layer 102. As a result, large surface recombination carrier loss may occur in the micro-LED between the first type conductive layer 101 and the second type conductive layer 102, negatively impacting the light emission efficiency of the micro-LED.

In contrast, in the first embodiment as well as other embodiments of the present disclosure, the light emitting layer 103 extends away from the top edge 101 a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the bottom edge 102 a of the second type conductive layer 102, such that the edge 103 a of the light emitting layer 103 does not contact the top edge 101 a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the bottom edge 102 a of the second type conductive layer 102. As a result, surface recombination carrier loss may not occur in the micro-LED between the first type conductive layer 101 and the second type conductive layer 102. Consequently, light emission efficiency of the micro-LED will be improved.
